Imagine Barrels o' fun with that.

That wouldn't even be fair for Doomguy.

Yeah, those barrels wouldn't stand a chance!

I did that once with a painelemental, but couldn't get it to work the way I wanted because of the way A_CheckSight works.

I tried it with A_JumpIfInTargetLOS but I didn't manage to get it to work properly. It crashed everytime I looked at a barrel after 'pissing it off' (On second thought, it could also be turning my back on another barrel in E1M1.). No error whatsoever, which happens most of the time when I mess up coding.

Someone else can try to make Barrels o' fun a nightmare of being mobbed by explosive barrels.

It's already been done, anyway. Several times. Example: Hideous Destructor.

Also I took the initiative of laying out the groundwork for "killer props". Very little of the actual coding is done, but I got all the boring stuff out of the way.
